11.50 p.m. R2 6 LIM'S SIGNATURE - Vlad Duric; Makr Walker dominates the field of eight in the S$75,000 Restricted Maiden 2&3YO WFA over 1000m on the polytrack - lining up three starters.  The first of the trio is raced by the Lim stable, has drawn the coveted ace and will carry 57kgs for his debut.  He will improve with experience.

11.50 p.m. R2 7 PRINCE DARCI - Alan Munro; the second of Mark Walker's trio is also on debut tonight.  Raced by Fortuna, he has drawn one outside his stablemate (2) and will carry 57kgs. The son of Darci Brahma, who is a multiple Champion Sire of Singapore, will also improve with the experience.

11.50 p.m. R2 8 Q NINE MILLION - Sundradas John; the third stable rep. is another son of Darci who caught the eye on debut last start when flashing home for third.  he has drawn barrier five and also will carry 57kgs.  He has improved with his first up run - a top four chance.

12.20 a.m. (Saturday) R3 4 HELLO MICHELLE - Alan Munro; the first of two in this Class 4 1100m on the polytrack for the stable, this daughter of Minstrel Court is already a two-time winner at Kranji in her short career - including her last start.  She has drawn seven of 12 and will carry 55.5kgs.  She is enjoying good form but is up three kilos compared to her last start but nonetheless she rates a top four chance. 

12.20 a.m. (Saturday) R3 12 UNSURPASSED - App CK Ng (a3); the second stable rep. has unfortunately copped the widest draw (12) but drops to a dangerous featherweight with the apprentice claim reducing his weight to carry down to 47kgs.  He needs to drop down to Class 5 to be competitive.

12.50 a.m. (Saturday) R4 1 SECRET SPICE - Oscar Chavez; again two stable runners and the first in the Fortuna colours has also copped the carpark draw - 14 of 14 and carries 57kgs in the Class 5 1400m on the turf short course B.  A daughter of Sakhee's Secret, she has a very awkward draw, therefore an outside place chance.

12.50 a.m. (Saturday) R4 2 MISS WAIMATAITAI - Manuel Nunes; this mare can be a bit cantankerous and unpredictable at times but did show improved manners to finish third last start. She is capable so if the top jockey can bounce her out of gate six in this 14-strong field, carrying 56.5kgs, she could surprise.

1.20 a.m. (Saturday) R5 3 IKING - Manuel Nunes; in this Class 3 1600m on the turf short course B, this experienced campaigner has drawn well (2) and carries 55kgs tonight in a field featuring eight opponents.  Coming in on the back of a staunch run for second last time presented, he is a senior horse now but always tries hard and is enjoying good form - a top four chance.

1.50 a.m. (Saturday) R6 12 DOUBLE JEOPARDY - App CK Ng (a3); another of the Fortuna brigade, he has drawn 12 of 14 but carries only 47kgs with the three kilo apprentice allowance.  In this Class 5 over 2000m on the turf short course B, he will be an outsider - he has been very disappointing and is on his way to Malaysia - outside place chance.

2.50 a.m. (Saturday) R8 6 CLUTHA LAD - App CK Ng (a3); another to benefit from the claim, he will now carry 50.5kgs however the 10 gate of 11 runners is not ideal for the now 7YO son of Thorn Park.  In the Class 4 1700m on the polytrack, he too an older horse but he has just lost his form a bit however right back down in the weights here - a place chance.

3.20 a.m. (Saturday) R9 10 STARSKY - App CK Ng (a3); the busy apprentice climbs aboard the last runner for the stable this evening in the Class 4 1100m on the polytrack where he has drawn gate three and will carry just 47.5kgs.  Facing an 11-strong line-up, this 4YO needs to drop to Class 5 to be competitive.
